Issue: When I’m playing Yue Fei campaign, at least on Northern Expedition and on Central Plains, the game crashes every few minutes. On Northern Expedition it felt it crashed less frequently, maybe every 10-15 minutes. On Central Plains it crashes more frequently, feels like I can play at most 3-5 minutes before it crashes. The game just hangs (screen freezes, I can’t control any unit), then after 10s or so the game closes. While I haven’t played AoE4 for some time (maybe 2-3 months) it feels like it hasn’t been happening before – as previously I was able to play campaign without any such problem. I do not know if the game also crashes on Skirmish or any other game modes, I haven’t tried that.

Trigger Event: There’s no obvious trigger event, it feels like the crash happens more-or-less at random, but it’s quite consistent in that if I’m playing (at least on specific Yue Fei campaign missions, haven’t tried on other modes), it is very repeatable, i.e. will eventually happen as I’m playing the game. It does feel though as if on Central Plains the crashes are more frequent than on Norther Expedition, but I haven’t exactly measured it. So far I’ve experienced this crash probably about 10 times.
(what was happening at the time of the issue. this could be an action you or another player took right before the issue started)
Repro Steps: Play any of the 2 campaign missions of Yue Fei: Central Plains or Northern Expedition. Especially Central Plains. The crash should occur within 5-10 minutes of playing the game.
